Orange Banana Oatmeal Bread
(adaptation for solar cooker)
This is moist and delicious. The sweetness inherent in the bananas are tempered by the orange juice and zest, so if you are usually overwhelmed by how sweet most banana bread tastes and want something a little less sweet and healthier, give this a try.
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup room temperature butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup white OR brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup smashed banana (3 medium)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix. Add the orange juice, crushed bananas, and orange zest. Mix well.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. Pour in a large loaf pan or put in several smaller pans. Bake until the edges brown and the middle springs back under the touch.
